Each of the 26 participating acts in the 2017 Eurovision Song Contest Grand Final in Kyiv, Ukraine were introduced by way of a brief tableau freeze, a clip about the artist, and another brief freeze before the act broke the freeze and "went on stage" (these were filmed bits, so they weren't actually doing a live freeze just offstage!).

Sadly, they're all short. But still, this was a pleasant surprise on top of the usual Eurovision insanity. The first example is at 12:41, with the Israeli entry IMRI.

The YouTube video is from the Logo broadcast in the USA, so you have to put up with "commentary" from the incredibly annoying Ross Matthews and the slightly-less annoying Michelle Visage.
